what is the best food at Bucky's 17
0:13
for a long time we've heard Whispers and
0:15
have been Bucky's curious now on
0:17
multiple road trips we've been able to
0:18
really soak in the Bucky's Travel Center
0:20
experience in multiple locations and can
0:23
confirm it's one of the best places to
0:25
stop on a trip we are completely smitten
0:27
with The ever-expanding Texas Chain so
0:30
what food should I get at Bucky's well
0:32
we're glad you asked the best Bucky
0:33
snacks and our favorite Bucky snacks
0:36
aren't exactly the same thing but we'll
0:38
try to thread the needle with a bit of
0:39
both also we're treating this as a road
0:41
trip food destination not a family night
0:43
out for dinners so we're a factor in
0:45
practicality into these Bucky's food
0:47
rankings now let's get into it number 16
0:50
sausage on a stick we're sad to report
0:52
that this is at the last of the list as
0:54
we are typically a big proponent of food
0:56
on sticks the Bucky sausage on a stick
0:58
which comes wrapped in a tortilla was
1:00
difficult to navigate while driving and
1:02
is ultimately a bit underwhelming number
1:04
15. Bucky's homemade chips their chips
1:07
they don't reinvent the art form or
1:09
anything but they're homemade so there's
1:11
that number 14 fresh fruit we can't all
1:15
live by beaver nuggets and beef jerky we
1:17
need a little fresh fruit Bucky's has a
1:19
nice selection of fruit probably better
1:21
than your typical gas station but
1:23
probably not quite as good as a local
1:25
supermarket number 13 peat rings of the
1:29
many variety of gummy Foods available at
1:31
Bucky's and there are a great many the
1:33
peach rings are one of the most popular
1:35
for some number 12 fudge the Bucky's
1:38
fudge counter is a sight to behold they
1:41
have flavors ranging from traditional
1:43
like the chocolate peanut butter to the
1:45
Curious like a blueberry cobbler number
1:47
11. cinnamon rolls Buc-ee's has a
1:50
variety of pastry selections and
1:52
honestly the cinnamon rolls are great
1:54
it's just that as a road trip food
1:56
cinnamon rolls can be a bit messy
1:58
therefore we say get a box and put it
2:01
away for the hotel at the end of the
2:02
trip but will we let you eat the
2:04
cinnamon rolls in the new family car we
2:06
will not number 10. caramel corn it's a
2:10
high floor low ceiling kind of snack is
2:12
it possible to mess up caramel corn good
2:15
satisfying sweet crunchy not
2:17
life-changing it's a good road trip
2:19
snack number nine chicken fajita tacos
2:22
we like Bucky's tacos very much plus
2:26
bonus points for being easy to eat in
2:28
the car number eight meats and cheese
2:30
when on the road we like meats and
2:33
cheeses and Bucky's has a fine array of
2:35
choices on our most recent visit we got
2:38
a vacuum sealed pork loin with pepper
2:39
jack cheese there are several options
2:41
including a summer sausage that's quite
2:43
good as well number seven cold
2:46
sandwiches while Bucky's has quite an
2:48
array of hot food there is an excellent
2:50
variety of deli sandwiches as well we
2:52
recently tried the Italian sub and it
2:54
was really really good not good for gas
2:57
station food but enjoyable enough that
2:59
we'd seek it out again number six
3:01
Bucky's beaver nuggets a controversial
3:04
selection here as the beaver nuggets are
3:06
probably Bucky's most recognizable and
3:08
blogged about snack they're basically a
3:11
cousin of the cereal honey smacks but
3:13
with more caramel flavor number five
3:15
trail mix Bucky specializes in walls of
3:19
various treats there's a beef jerky wall
3:21
a dried fruit wall and a wall of gummy
3:23
treats it goes far beyond the typical
3:26
trail mix with a variety for everyone in
3:28
particular it's a good energy snack for
3:30
the road number four banana pudding in
3:34
case you're wondering the best banana
3:35
pudding in the world is at Dreamland
3:37
Barbecue in Tuscaloosa Bucky's isn't
3:40
that good but when you're on the road
3:41
you have to take what you can get and
3:43
this banana pudding is worth taking
3:45
number three breakfast tacos Bucky's has
3:48
a variety of breakfast tacos however we
3:51
think drifts closer to the realm of
3:52
burritos but we're not going to quibble
3:54
over technicalities number two beef
3:57
jerky it's like the meat case at a
4:00
grocery store but instead of selections
4:02
of steak chicken and ground beef it's
4:04
just different flavors of dried meat
4:06
piled high we'd like to think that a
4:08
champion of jerky tradition and pride is
4:11
looking down from somewhere ethereal at
4:13
the Bucky's jerky counter and is pleased
4:15
that their life's work wasn't in vain
4:17
and finally number one barbecue finally
4:21
we have Bucky's barbecue our staff found
4:24
the pulled pork to be a notch or two
4:26
above the brisket we suspect it's
4:28
because the pulled pork survives
4:29
slightly better under the production
4:31
limitations that Bucky's must overcome
4:33
certainly we're not here to tell you to
4:36
drive past a local smoker who's doing
4:37
barbecue to go to Buc-ee's but we're
4:39
willing to tell you it's probably the
4:41
best mass-produced road trip barbecue
4:43
available do you have a favorite Bucky's
4:46
